Kacer added that “in both categories, the number of unemployed is at some of the lowest figures in the past 10 years and decreased again in comparison to July.”

The number of university graduates registered with the labour authorities dropped by 853 m-o-m to 4,255 persons.

An analyst with the Institute for Social Policy, Michal Tomajko, pointed out that “a positive [thing] that y-o-y we registered smaller number of job applicants in every region” in Slovakia. Tomajko expects “a slight increase in unemployment in September” due to incoming high school graduates on the labour market.
